With the holidays well behind us, it’s time for some new family fun – fun that includes sleeping
too! Spend a night at the National Watch and Clock Museum on March 2. Find out what happens after the Museum locks its doors each night. Does the mouse run up the clock, does the grandfather clock begin to talk, or does time The Museum, located in Columbia, is truly the center of time and is home to close to 12,000 watches and clocks.
Why not bring your family and explore time?! After a stroll through the Museum’s time tunnel, you will find yourself transported to the time of Stonehenge and water clocks. From there, you begin your journey through time where thousands of years later (or an hour and a half in museum time) your family will stand speechless before the Mars Clock wondering, “Where did the time go?”
The Family Overnight is a unique opportunity for children ages 6 to 12 to spend the night at the Museum and enjoy decorating a clock to take home, munching on a snack, and exploring the many Museum’s exhibits. Cost is $20 for children and $12 for adults, with payment due prior to the sleepover. The adult chaperone must be at least 21 years old and one chaperone is required for every five children who participate.
Admission includes:
Scavenger hunt activity through the Museum
Museum exploration
Make-a-clock program for children
Snack and light breakfast
Souvenir patch for children

Fastnacht Bake Talking Points
The annual Fastnacht Bake originated in 1924. This is our 89th year. It was an idea created by women
of the Altar Rosary Society, of the church, to raise money to help offset construction costs of a new church
building.
- Church construction began in 1926 and was completed with a dedication and blessing in October, 1929.
- Fastnacht (FAHS-nahkt) is related to the Germanic word Fasten (to fast, abstain from eating). The
definition of fastnacht - a yeast-raised potato pastry that is deep-fried like a doughnut. Fastnachts were
originally made on Shrove Tuesday to use up the stored fat and lard that was forbidden during Lent.
- In the early days of the bake all ingredients were hand mixed and the fastnachts were fashioned from
molds originally made from tuna fish cans.
- Unsalted potatoes were used during Lent and the potato water was then used to make yeast. The potato
yeast would “work” for several hours before being mixed into the flour.
- Today the Fastnacht Bake has evolved into a parish project that includes about 116 men and women
volunteers. It is one of the largest fund raising efforts of the parish.
- January 25, 1989 the national spotlight was focused on the Fastnacht Bake. NBC’s Willard Scott, from
the TODAY Show, originated all of his weather segments “live” from Holy Trinity in Columbia.
- The process of making fastnachts begins with the Night Crew. Approximately 20 to 25 volunteers
measure, weigh and mix the ingredients producing on average 56 batches. The dough is poured into large
metal cans. These are then placed in the “warming closet” to allow the dough to rise during the night.
The army of rollers begin arriving at 4:00am to start rolling, shaping and cutting the dough into
fastnachts. Each batch or can of dough will produce approximately 11.4 dozen. After shaping and
cutting the fastnachts they are placed on long cloth covered boards for further rising. When the
fastnachts are properly raised they are transferred to the frying area.
Other volunteers arrive around 5:30am to operate the fryers. Six frying units will be in continuous
operation for six hours. After frying in a cholesterol free substance they reach the peak of
perfection and are placed in cooling trays. The next step is the glazing process, which is all done
by hand.
Still other volunteers handle the sorting, counting and bagging, in preparation for pickup by the
public or delivery to area factories and other places of business.
- Fastnachts are baked on Monday, February 20, Shrove Tuesday, February 21 and Ash Wednesday,
February 22. After that, there are four weeks of bakes during Lent, on Mondays and Wednesdays only.
The last bake is Wednesday, March 21st.
- More than seven thousand dozen fastnachts are produced during the Lenten Season.
The operation takes place in the Holy Trinity Parish Center, 4th and Cherry Streets, Columbia, site of Our
Lady of the Angels School.
- Fastnachts must be pre-ordered by dialing 717-684-0487. Telephone lines are open between 9:00am
and 6:00pm, Monday through Friday, beginning, Monday February 13th.
- Plain fastnachts sell for $5.50 per dozen and $2.75 per half-dozen. Glazed are $6.50 a dozen and $3.50
per half-dozen.
- Orders must be picked up at the Parish Center between 10:00am and 1:00pm on the designated days. All
orders not claimed by 1:00pm will be sold.
Secret to success –
- Pride
- Family tradition
- Parish Unity
- Each volunteer considers the Bake a labor of love.
- Our secret recipe that makes Holy Trinity’s the best tasting fastnacht in the world. . . . Ask Our
Customers!
Visuals -
Evenings before a bake - About 25 workers weighing flour, salt, sugar, etc. and the mixing of the dough.
They usually work between 5:00 and 9:00pm.
Mornings of the bake - Rollers are well working anytime after 4:00am and continue until 9:30am.
Volunteers turning fastnachts in the Fry Room are in position between 5:30 and 11:30am. Sorters and
baggers are busy between 6:00am and Noon.

In addition to its regular hours on Thursday and Friday, the Columbia Market House is also open Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 a.m.-1 p.m.
There are three stands, who are now open five days a week.

Since 1997 the Columbia Borough Police Department has used the AED to help those citizens experiencing a heart attack. The department has successfully used the AED in at least seven instances, thereby allowing the patients to resume a normal life. In 2001 Chief Brommer, Officer Dan Bell and Sgt. William Meyers saved the life of Columbia resident ,Monte Cooper, by using the AED. According to his daughter, Monte Ann Finegan, “My father was able to enjoy seven more years of the highest quality of life without residual health issues.” Due to the inability to replace the batteries or change the computer protocols, the current AED devices are in need of replacement. Each AED device costs $1,000.00 to replace and there are additional expenses such as the pads used to attach the device to the patient. Chief Jack Brommer initiated an AED Fund Drive in the hopes that the community would assist in acquiring new devices. The department is in need of at least 7 AED devices to be placed in each Police vehicle and 1 stationary device to be placed in the Borough Hall. To allow for the cost of 8 new AED units, pads and other materials, a goal of $10,000 has been set to outfit the department.

Anyone wishing to assist in this worthwhile endeavor may contact Chief Brommer at 717/684-7735.

We are grateful to the following businesses/organizations for their donations:

Now that the excitement of Christmas is past and the decorations are packed away, long
winter evenings stretch ahead of us. Why not fill them with some good books….either
the “old standard” physical volume or a book downloaded to an e-reader!
E-readers have become quite the rage. If you were lucky enough to have Santa bring you
one for Christmas, we have step-by step instruction cards at the library on how to
download books into it! And, yes, the Library System of Lancaster County has a
collection of e-books! Called “Overdrive”, there is a link directly on the front page of
our website (www.columbia.lib.pa.us). Just look for the “Download audiobooks ebooks”
link at the bottom of the page.
While you can browse and choose the titles to fill your “ecart”, internet connection
limitations prevent you from actually downloading the books into your device at the
library itself. It is recommended that you use a home or office PC with internet access
for the actual download.
Overdrive’s front page includes a quick start guide, frequently asked questions, and a
guided tour of digital media. The guided tour is exceptionally helpful, especially if you
are new to digital media (like myself!)
If you prefer to hold a physical book in your hands (as many of us do!), here are some of
the new releases for January:
Private: # 1 Suspect by James Patterson
Love In a Nutshell by Janet Evanovich
Gun Games: a Decker/Lazarus Novel by Faye Kellerman
Breakdown: a V.I. Warshawski Novel by Sara Paretsky
Deadline by Fern Michaels
Home Front by Kristin Hannah
Gideon’s Corpse by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
The Look of Love: a Piper Donovan Mystery by Mary Jane Clark
Death Comes To Pemberley by P.D. James (this is a mystery involving the characters of
Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice”. It is already here!)
Mrs. Coni Haas’ Monday Night Storytimes have “Winter Fun” as their theme:
Monday, January 2: library closed for New Year’s
Monday, January 9: “Animals and Birds In Winter”

Monday, January 23: “It’s All About Cookies!”
Monday, January 30: “Nursery Rhymes”
Our annual Mitten Tree was another success. 224 items have been donated to help keep
your neighbors warm this winter. Kudos to Shirl Stumpf, who is continuing the
Columbia tradition of creating caps and scarves all year long. Shirl donated a total of 155
hats and scarves….ALL HAND CROCHETED! She is continuing the legacy of our
anonymous donor, who passed away in 2011. Thanks also go to Danielle Peters of St.
Paul’s Episcopal and Jean Phiel of St. John’s Lutheran for distributing the items collected
to families who need them.

The Columbia Public Library is following up on a very worthwhile and popular outreach
begun last year. “Food For Fines” involves bringing in nonperishable food items for the
Columbia Food Bank during the weeks of January 16 through January 30. Personal
hygiene items for the traveling winter shelter will also be collected. Each item donated
will allow the donor to have $1.00 removed from their outstanding library fines. Of
course, people who have no fines are certainly welcome to donate as well!
According to Danielle Peters and Sue Ohler of the Columbia Food Bank, most-needed
items are jelly (any flavor), canned meats such as Spam or canned stews, baked beans,
and chunky-style soups Items needed for the winter shelter include personal (travel)
sized soap, shampoos, and toothpaste. Items will be collected between Monday, January
16 and Monday, January 30.
January also means tax materials are arriving. The Columbia Public Library has the most
popular forms you’ll need….and we can print any specialized forms from the IRS or PA
Revenue websites. If you need help preparing your forms, remember to schedule an
appointment with Mr. Samuel Edmond. He will be happy to help you complete and
submit your form electronically. Please call 406-8143 for an appointment.
The Columbia Public Library is offering a Highmark/Blue Shield Medicare Solutions
Seminar on January 30, 2011 from 10 AM to 12:30 PM. Topics of discussion include
Medicare Advantage products such as FreedomBlue PPO, Medigap and Prescription
Drug products (BlueRx PDP). This seminar is especially beneficial to those who are new
to the Medicare process. There is no charge.

stop by and visit often!

All Events are Free of Charge!

The Columbia Lions Club, Sunsnappers organization and the Foresters Club of Columbia will sponsor their third annual holiday meal delivery for senior citizens on Sunday.
Volunteers are needed to help assemble and deliver 500 cooked turkey dinners to seniors living in retirement communities and in their own homes throughout Columbia, Washington Boro and Mountville.
Most of these seniors are unable to cook meals due to physical limitations or not having ovens, project chairman Ken Kramer said.
Meal assembly will take place at 11 a.m. in the Foresters Club, 201 Locust St., Columbia. The event is expected to last until 1 or 1:30 p.m.
Those interested in helping should contact Kramer at 684-0599 or 684-2185.
